the courts have upheld limits. interestingly, as a gun owner and a strong supporter of the second amendment, you should read the most important supreme court decision in recent years, district of columbia versus heller, which said a private individual does have the right to own a firearm for self- defense. the author of that opinion, justice scalia, said that in fact -- and he cited specifically the point that you raise about selling -- about felons. felons do not have the right to own a firearm in the united states, and others do not. in addition, scalia suggested that laws on conceal/carry, laws to -- there are limits on gun ownership in the united states. there have been really since the founding, and the interesting debate that is forthcoming post heller decision is to see where the court will come down on whether or not it is going to allow for additional restrictions on gun ownership. host: has the atf always been designed in its current form? did it used to be stronger, etc.? guest: no, it was not always des

do you accept the criticism that the pentagon should have been warning about these sooner? >> first, we started the slowdown in spending on january 10. a number of the measures that i mentioned went into effect shortly after that. significant efforts were made to slow down spending on more draconian actions later. i know that people felt we should have said more earlier. 15 months ago the secretary sent a letter to the u.s. congress saying that the effects of sequestration would be devastating. after that we testified in august and again in september, we listed every single major item we're talking about. we said that there would be cutbacks in readiness and a unit buys would go down with unit costs growing up. what we did not do was detailed budget planning. i do not regret that. if we did it 60 months ago, we would have been wrong. we would not know that congress would have changed the size and the date and we would not have incurred the tigre -- we would not have incurred the degradation route. we sounded the alarm in every way that we could. >> what kind of contract are

in fact, the courts indicated as the gentleman knows that it is a cost of living adjustment. we don't need to debate that further unless the gentleman wants to say something. mr. cantor: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i would just say that the statement that perhaps federal employees are the only ones who have had to shoulder the burden, i don't necessarily agree with that because there are millions of people in the private sector who have not only have gone without a pay increase, many of whom don't have a job any more. you also have the instance, mr. speaker, that many millions of americs have just received a significant tax increase due to what happened here on the fiscal cliff bill. there are a lot of implications and consequences for the down turn -- downturn in the economy. i dare say there are a lot of people suggling out there in the private sector. so i just take a little bit of difference from the gentleman in saying that no one else is sacrificing right now because there are a lot of people that have no pay increase. a lot of people that have no jobs. i yield

the pentagon said a majority of civilian employees will be furloughed. they talked about agricultural department, with meat and poultry inspectors facing furloughs. this information goes on and on , no matter where you read today. june is calling from wisconsin. independent. caller: hi. i just want everybody to remember that we sent the people to washington who are our "representatives" to represent us, not their own egos. they should be furloughed. everybody in congress who is against doing things to make this country grow, they should not get paid. they should be laid off and not get a pay raise for years. they are always big on cutting public workers. listen, it has always been about good government jobs. government workers spend the money, and other businesses hire more people. the republicans know that, and it is just a shame that we are at war and the things we are doing in congress are, like, treasonous to me, because it is bringing down our country. my senator, ron johnson, he needs to fully explain why he is not encouraging his peons in congress

on "meet the press" just a few weeks ago, mr. la pierre said, if it's crazy to call for armed officers in our schools to protect our children, then all me crazy. i think the american people think it's crazy not to do it. it's the one thing that would keep people safe. the point here, colleagues, is that the public, n.r.a. members, gun-owning families in this country believe in commonsense reforms and we owe it to them. we owe it to them to vote on these commonsense bills that will not restrict anyone's ability to own a gun for self-protection or to own a gun for recreation. but will take these assault weapons that are military weapons that are invented for one reason an one reason only, and that is to tear the hell out of anything they come in contact. one law enforcement officer said very recently, the energy in an assault weapon bullet will tear open a brick wall. you don't need that to go hunting. you don't need that to protect yourself and your home. i yield to the gentlelady from new york, carolyn maloney. mrs. maloney: i wo

it's been afirmed by the supreme court. the president's first term took several actions to reduce pollution from cars and trucks and doubling our nation's renewable energy sources. they proposed first standards to reduce pollution from power plants. that is in draft form without for public comment and had a record breaking 3 million comments in support that exceeds any other. and we think it non-straits the public appetite for strong action on climate change. we are pushing for standard producing carbon producing from power plants to be announced soon and finalized with all due haste. power plants are our nation's single largest source of carbon pollution representing 40% of our nation's annual contributions. we are encouraged by the comments from the president's comments in his inaugural address. another lesson we think will bear on this 113 congress is that the public strongly supports the e.p.a. scientistists doing their job protecting the air we breathe and water we drink. we hear talk in this town of e.p.a. run amuck o
